SchoolDude

"Being a web application, didn't require our IT staff to manage the system. We could use the software and not worry about managing it, and that is just one less responsibility we as an IT staff have."

"ITDirect has been a great, cost-effective tool in improving our department's efficiency. Being able to track the progress of incidents – whether you are the requester, technician or administrator – is a huge benefit. Also, being able to predict future purchases and needs based on current and past incidents has been extremely helpful. I would and have recommended this product to others!"

"It is awesome to have a maintenance program that is designed totally for the school. I would highly recommend maintenance directors to seriously think about making SchoolDude.com part of their program."

"The transition to MaintenanceDirect was smoother than I expected. We couldn't be happier. The teachers love it."

"SchoolDude was so user friendly and we knew that it could handle the volume that we had. It really didn't matter with SchoolDude's software if you were 1 school or 1,000 schools, it doesn't matter because it can handle the volume."

"I would be very happy to add our name to the list of former ACT 1000 clients who have made a very successful switch to MaintenanceDirect. Our district customers readily adapted to using their browser to submit work orders. Several principals have commented on how much more intuitive MaintenanceDirect is to use. They especially like the email notification from our maintenance staff regarding work order job status.”

"I cannot tell you how well we like SchoolDude. I've learned how to operate it [MaintenanceDirect] pretty well and am getting better every day. The information we have access to now that was not obtainable with our old system is just no comparison. Keeping up with man hours, budgets etc. – especially with budget cuts this year – will help us to be more prudent in our management of funds and manpower than we ever could before. Just wanted to say thanks."

"Every maintenance man has a favorite tool in his tool belt. MaintenanceDirect has become my favorite tool for keeping my customers happy and my department looking good."

"We love SchoolDude. Their customer service is phenomenal. I researched several other programs before choosing MaintenanceDirect. The interface was the easiest and has required little training. One of the most important features for us is the requester page. It's easy for requesters to see the status of their work order, and they get automatic email updates when the status changes. I have only heard good things from our requesters. We have trained our construction crew to enter their own labor hours and purchases for work orders. Many of them are new at using a computer, but they have learned to use MaintenanceDirect with little trouble."

"We are thrilled with SchoolDude's product offerings and customer service. The MaintenanceDirect module has been extremely helpful in establishing a system for the effective processing of work requests. It is simple enough to allow for a quick start-up but versatile enough to support our evolving needs. The customer service is always timely, helpful and friendly. We also have FSDirect, UtilityDirect and PMDirect modules, and they have a very real role in improving our management systems."
